where to meet
by Karsten Wade 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Do you all care if FDSCo meets in #fedora-meeting instead of #fedora-docs? Now, historically it has been *very valuable* to have discussions where we socialize/work/etc. on IRC. More people who are lurking are caught up in the conversation, etc. However, I see the same thing happening on #fedora-meeting, except it is capturing lurkers from across the whole project. I notice that people who are interested in the meeting(s) either lurk on #fedora-meeting or join the channel when a meeting is announced in the source channel. So, I am considering changing my mind on the subject, and I'm curious what you all think. thx - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Relnotes appearing at docs.fedoraproject.org
by Dimitris Glezos 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hey all. Just a quick reminder that we have two published versions of the release notes [1]: * The one included in the ISO (that is, in F7 itself) [2] * The updated, "current" ones (also called web-only because they are not included in the release) [3] [1]: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/ [2]: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/iso/ [3]: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/<lang>/ All translated docs that were included in the release should exist in [2] and be linked from [1]. All docs that have been updated with the corrections/additions (there were around 60 string changes) should be uploaded in [3] and their links changed at [1]. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

Fedora 7 installation guide and release notes
by Rahul Sundaram 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi When are these getting published? It would make it easier to link to if they were published a bit earlier to the actual release. Is there any other documents waiting to be published on the pipeline? What's the status on the updated Fedora user guide. I still need to update the software management guide which is hopefully done soon. It might be useful to link to all the relevant user specific docs esp ones focusing on Fedora 7 prominently from http://docs.fedoraproject.org There was a short document on burning images, virt guide in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora7VirtQuickStart and possibly others.

Desktop Users Guide - Devel
by Diego Búrigo Zacarão 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hello, all! I have checked out the desktop-user-guide at the CVS, however there are no files into devel/ directory. I would like to know what's the plans about that guide for F7. 1 - Who's working on that guide? 2 - Is there a data/freeze to the guide to be available to the translators? The DocsProject/Schedule[1] looks like no-updated to me. Or... am I wrong? :) Best regards [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule#head-f047efd6ccc686c96cf… -- Diego Búrigo Zacarão Linux User #402589 USE SOFTWARE LIVRE

Presentation and some questions
by Mario Pascucci 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi all. I apologize if this is wrong list, but I was wondering about... I'm a very happy Fedora user (and before I was happy RadHat user from rel 6.1), and I maintain a blog on Linux and Fedora, in italian, where I publish some guides about Linux and one on Installing and configuring Fedora (always in italian). I done a lot of work with Qemu to capture installation screenshots (both graphical and text mode) of Fedora 6. The manual is here: http://www.ismprofessional.net/pascucci/?p=56 For generating it I use Docbook 4.2 XML with xmlto utility to generate html docs (I use vim to wrote it). Anyone found some part of it useful? Can I contribute to the documentation in any way with it? Screenshots, maybe?

Thanks in advance. -- Mario 'Reliant' Pascucci http://www.ismprofessional.net/pascucci/

Welcome wizzard
by Jonathan Roberts 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi all, I don't know if this is off topic, or even just wishful thinking, but has any sort of a welcome wizard been considered? GNU/Linux (and Fedora) is different to what a lot of new users will have been used to, and some sort of a welcome wizard which just points them in the right direction for common items, i.e. software installer etc might be useful. I have no idea if other people think this would be worthwhile, or how you might go about creating it! Thoughts? Jon

Broken page

28 May '07

Hi all, was just doing a bit of editing - small stuff really - but an error message appeared when I tried to save changes to the DUG/Games page and I don't know where to report it to. For now that page appears to be down, at least on my system: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide/Games Sorry all! Jon
